Bedok residents will have a sprawling new complex as big as three football fields in 2017 housing the Kampong Chai Chee community club, a new sports facility, library, polyclinic and elder care centre all under one roof.

Residents gathered yesterday for the ground-breaking ceremony for what is currently dubbed the Bedok Integrated Complex, as an official name has yet to be chosen.

The town centre building will aim to provide the area's 250,000 residents with a single destination to meet the "wellness" needs of a three-generation family.

The concept, first announced in 2011, was finalised after feedback from 12,000 residents.
